Victor G. Carrillo

"...Promoting Texas Energy for all Texans"

Welcome

Welcome to My Web Site!

I am honored to serve you as Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission - the agency that oversees the oil and gas, pipeline, and surface mining industries.

Texas is our nation’s premier energy producing state and the Texas energy sector plays a critical role in ensuring domestic energy security.  At this critical stage in our nation’s energy security future, we must responsibly drill more in “our own backyard” to minimize foreign oil and gas imports.

I’ll continue to work to ensure that future generations will have the energy needed to fuel our ongoing growth and prosperity.

May God continue to bless our great state!

To reach my office by phone, call (512) 463-7131.
